1 Maccabees 15:5-13
-
5 Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which the kings before me granted thee, and whatsoever gifts besides they granted.
-
6 I give thee leave also to coin money for thy country with thine own stamp.
-
7 And as concerning Jerusalem and the sanctuary, let them be free; and all the armour that thou hast made, and fortresses that thou hast built, and keepest in thine hands, let them remain unto thee.
-
8 And if anything be, or shall be, owing to the king, let it be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore.
-
9 Furthermore, when we have obtained our kingdom, we will honour thee, and thy nation, and thy temple, with great honour, so that your honour shall be known throughout the world.

10 In the hundred threescore and fourteenth year went Antiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the forces came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon.
-
11 Wherefore being pursued by king Antiochus, he fled unto Dora, which lieth by the sea side:
-
12 For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, and that his forces had forsaken him.
-
13 Then camped Antiochus against Dora, having with him an hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand horsemen.
